  VERY upset here...I know at my level with the equipment available to me I have zero chance of qualifying for the open but what I'm upset about is the fact that every "MAN" that completes a 18 hole try at qualifying gets a spiffy looking avatar just for trying.....I have tried twice now and completed both my rounds ( best 65) ...So WGT why haven't you got a nice avatar for us ladies ...HUH?  HUH?  HUH?...not fair and very prejudice if you ask me..anybody out there know of a good virtual attorney I can contact I think I'll sue WGT for Prejudice LOL...In all seriousness WGT what do we ladies get for trying???????????????????????????????

  You are totally wrong !!!

  You just have to enter and NOT hit a ball and the Avatar will be in your equipement.....feel better :(((

  I would E-Mail WGT and ASK if they would feel obliged as I know they have felt obligated  to do so with a female TL I play with to possibly see their way clear to evening the playing field....a bit like if you are a black man they WILL swop that white male avatar for your creed.

  Wish you and your sex all the best.

  ( Not trying to 'upset the applecart' WGT but my better half is non too pleased either and after all it is a pretty indefensible position you find yourself in .......)

  Re-read my post Sue....just done it myself and it couldn't be any plainer ..

  But JUST for you..

  I play with a TL female who got the male avatar changed for her adopted country one..

  The black male members have had theirs changed from white to...guess what ?

  To get said male avatar you don't have to hit a ball !

  And finally...My GF is p*ssed too with the same issue and I'm getting earache to speak up...

  Good job you're the fairer sex because brains don't seem to be one of your redeeming attributes Sue (or observation either)

  THIS CONVERSATION IS OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR,.

  ^^^^ That is a monologue by the way as we hadn't engaged in any discourse..(meaningful or otherwise)

  That's twice you've said that .....just because in your little world those words may be done, in the greater scheme of things your words amount to little....eg; in the last thread you paint shopped an IT'S OVER..then proceeded to further the conversation ( with said dreaded edit )..I think I will lump you in with Sue..19th isle, sub section triple F, paragraph 7b,  line...............................

  However if you felt belittled by the last thread and feel the need to vent in whatever fashion and have recourse then feel free to jump on any bandwagon you see fit.... be my guest.

  Anything to say on the crux of original post ? The Pankhurst's are turning...

   

  Al (Andy) < --- that's me by the way, you know , observation and all that...:)))

  There's no need for nastiness Alcaucin. Now play nicely or else.

  Well Al(Andy) you don't seem to get this at all - I have the male avatar as stated - what I would like is a female version.   There is not one available at present and that is the crux of the matter.

  I find your attitude rather depressing and condescending, on that note I will go back to19th isle, sub section triple F, paragraph 7b,  line..............................   Have a nice day.

  This was brung up exactly a year ago and yes they need to be fair in this because surely its not that hard for them to put some effort in and make a female. 104487.aspx?PageIndex=1

  Sorry about that but thick ppl bring out the worst in me.....No excuse for it, one sure thing in life you have complete control over in general. I admire your attempt at solidarity even if it is sorely misplaced.
